Keswick: A place to call home at Tallgrass Creek

The Keswick is one of the new homes at Tallgrass Creek in Overland Park.

The apartment—with two bedrooms and one and a half baths—has a unique combination of ample space and a homey floor plan.

“The popular Keswick can give you the comforts and closet space of many of our two bedroom styles, with a very reasonable entrance deposit,” says Jane McIntire, retirement counselor at Tallgrass Creek. “If you’re coming from a large house or condo, you will appreciate the second bedroom; it serves as great space for entertaining or keeping up with that special hobby or interest. We have several Keswick apartments with fantastic exposures.”

Socializing a snap
Socializing will be easy in the living room. At 12 feet by 22 feet, the room can fit enough furnishings for more than one conversation area or provide space to stretch out and relax. Large picture windows keep the room warm and bright.

Guests will feel comfortable following the home’s natural flow into the kitchen, where there is enough room to make a gourmet meal, but not so much room that it is difficult to maintain.

Discover a large bedroom and bathroom with a walk-in shower in the master suite, which also boasts walk-in and linen closets. It is the perfect private getaway.

A special feature of the Keswick at Tallgrass Creek is its large second  bedroom. This room could house everything from an art studio to an office. How about making it into a game room for bunco or poker nights? Or on the more sedate side it could be a cozy reading room with book-lined shelves, a comfortable chair, and a warm afghan.

A haven for hobbies
Drs. Tom and Judy Harned have that second bedroom already planned in the two bedroom home they will move into at Tallgrass Creek. It will serve as the center of activity for Tom Harned’s genealogy passion and provide enough space for Judy Harned to do the sewing that she loves.

The Harneds left Oklahoma behind to establish a new home at Tallgrass Creek. They moved to the area to be near their son and his family.

That second bedroom was essential, they said, because their hobbies are so  important to them. “Hobbies are active hope in the future,” Tom Harned says. “Hobbies are things that don’t end. They keep going.”

Designing their home
“We really liked the two bedrooms,” Judy Harned says. “It helps to have the second bedroom.” An armoire in the room will allow Tom Harned to have his computer, while at the same time keep the room looking tidy.

Another important benefit of the second room is that their 12-year-old grandson will have a space to stay with them in their home.

The Harneds can’t wait to move into Tallgrass Creek.

“One of the things that impresses us about Erickson is how they have health care, a bank, a small grocery store, and dining services,” Tom Harned says. “It’s just all there.”

The Keswick apartment design is still available at Tallgrass Creek, but the large two bedroom floor plans are popular and going fast.
